Solange Knowles is the best aunty ever!

The newly married singer took to Instagram to share a few heartfelt words about her niece, Blue Ivy Carter, who turned 3 years old yesterday.

"My twin, my fellow sassy pants, my dancing partner, my incredibly smart, beautiful, niece-y-poo, turns 3 today! I love her so much," Solange wrote.

The loving caption was written next to an image of Beyoncé and Jay Z's daughter carefully applying eye shadow on her aunt. She's a natural!

And just yesterday, proud mama Bey herself posted a shot of what appears to be some decorations of Blue's birthday party.

A silver "3" balloon along with an ice sculpture that said "Happy Birthday Blue" was shown in the black-and-white shot.

There's no doubt that Blue is the apple of Jay and Bey's eye, and in a recent interview Yoncé revealed that her daughter is her "biggest muse."

She also couldn't help but gush about her adorable toddler during a chat with Anderson Cooper in 2012.

"It just gives you purpose and all of the things that my self-esteem was associated it, it's all completely different."

She continued, "I realized why I was born and more than anything all of the things I want to pass onto my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her but showing her by example."
